...Not going to public highschool? Lol
I was homeschooled, and now that I'm actually social (I wasnt during highschool), I regret not going to public school and enjoying the social aspect of it. Lol

What don't I regret? :D

There was an awful lot that I could've done that I inevitably missed out on (particularly nights out for a few* drinks, as you do), but when that meant putting up with an almighty shower of c*nts, I think I was nearly better off :p So, I guess I don't really regret anything after all xD

*May not actually mean 'a few' :eek:

I was (and still am) homeschooled, so there is nothing to regret.

I've regretted a lot of things, in a list:

1. I made a complete fool of myself on behalf of making others laugh happily and making me popular. Sacrifices, dignity, and self-esteem must never be together.
2. I didn't get to hang out more with friends.
3. I didn't even have a lot of chatting with girls in my class.
4. I missed 2 months of education before I finally was allowed to be applied to school ever since I had finished my case in court. It's a Judicial Court case.
5. I've wrecked my entire childhood and forced myself to read and study for exams.
6. I never enjoyed life fully during those years.
7. I actually hate my junior and senior high school years, but now I'm regretting them for hating them in the first place.
8. I've done a lot of bad things. If only boxing was legal in high schools.
9. I destroyed another person's dream. He now couldn't walk.
10. Textbooks after textbooks, life was in hell and I didn't even stop and smell the roses.
11. A lot of common mishaps that causes some people to cry or burst in tears in front of me.
12. I probably won't be able to see her again.

A lot of others said they regret "not getting anything done" not in grades or social activities, but actually getting skills.
Does that apply to any of you guys.
I'd have to say, going to college without any previous knowledge of the career your going into does sound quite dumb.

My regret?
Not burning it to the ground! *cue evil laughter*

But no, it went fine. I have no regrets, or any regrets that are worth being regretted.

I dunno. I guess not taking a sport, because I think it would've made me more well-rounded, but I'm content enough with the way it turned out. Spending too much time on girls who didn't share my affection, I guess you could add that, too.

Sometimes I am a winey bitch and I can say that I regret a lot of things, but... I don't feel like regretting anything. What's done is done. should have ? would have ? too late. Life moves on, so will I. High school... what ever.

This:p
Not burning it to the ground! *cue evil laughter*

Or if I'm going to be serious:
Not beating the people who bullied me to bloody pulps.
And not doing the same to the principle because the bitch looked the other way all 10 years that I went to her schools.

Not many serious regrets, mainly because the big points were things I couldn't do anything about. So mainly just the fact that I sort of screwed up the exams in Sixth Form, and was lucky to get into Uni (which I have since proceeded to also screw up in a whole number of ways, but that's a different kettle of fish). There's also the cliched regret of *that* girl, but I ain't gonna go into that :p

The main things which I regret despite not being able to influence them would be that I ended up, at first, in a shitty school where I was very much in a minority, and singled out a lot for it. I got moved after a couple of years, but the new school was crappier in terms of educational standards... still, life was (somewhat) less depressessing.
And I never took up the drums when I wanted to either. My younger brother got all the breaks, getting straight into a very good school and being able to take up the drums as a result. I guess being the first child in the family means you have to make the mistakes first :(

I regret being too shy back there. But I've overcome that, wopee!:thup:

Oh, and picking art classes instead of music. >: (

All people regretted simple things. I guess it's that simple.

I can't stand "high school parties"! They're just a bunch of c*nts like you said, that go to try and start fights, and get completely smashed and throw up. I don't like that shit, at all.

I party a lot now, like a lot a lot, but it's either with people I know or college-aged people. Therefore, the parties consist of chilling and doing something or chatting/mingling with people or playing games, and not just getting smashed and starting fights like most highschool parties around here. Sure, it happens every now and then, but it's generally for a reason and not just because people think they're tough and want to prove it.

Maybe it's just around here, but the typical highschool parties blow. :p

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
